Dallas Expungement Lawyer

The Basics of Pardons

If you have been convicted of a crime, there are several different situations in which you may not have to serve the entire sentence given to you. There are options, such as pardons, which may allow you to serve only a portion of your sentence. This could allow you to return to your family and normal way of life much sooner than you may have expected.

What is a Pardon?

A pardon is the process of being legally forgiven for your crime, which includes the removal of your jail sentence. A full pardon allows a person to return to the legal status that they held before their crime and restores many of their civil rights, including:

Right to vote

Right to serve on a jury

Right to hold public office

The pardoning process requires several components, including letters of recommendation, written essays and court documents. It is important to be aware that the pardoning process can take years to complete.

Although being granted a pardon may help you to return to a more normal way of life, it does not expunge your criminal record. In order to have your record expunged, you will need the assistance of an experienced Dallas expungement lawyer.
